About This Item
[N.p., 1909. About very good.. 31pp. Original brown printed wrappers, stapled. Minor wear, top edge bumped, soft vertical crease throughout. Short closed horizontal tear to Preface leaf. A rare collection of articles pertaining to a series of visits made by Booker T. Washington throughout Tennessee (and briefly in Kentucky) in 1909. According to the Preface: "The articles and editorial expressions reprinted herewith from the New York Evening Post, and several other publications describe the effectiveness and value of a series of meetings held throughout the State of Tennessee, November 18 to 28, 1909, by Dr. Booker T. Washington of the Tuskegee Institute. A special correspondent of the Evening Post accompanied Dr. Washington and party during the whole of the trip." The other publications include an editorial from the Springfield (Mass.) Republican and an article and an editorial by R.E. Park which appeared in The Boston Transcript. Washington spoke in twenty Tennessee towns and cities: Bristol, Johnson City, Greenville, Knoxville, Chattanooga, South Pittsburg, Winchester, Decherd, Fayetteville, Columbia, Pulaski, Nashville, Springfield, Clarksville, Paris, Humboldt, Brownsville, Memphis, Jackson, and Milan. Washington also spoke in two Kentucky locations (Guthrie and Hopkinsville). One of the reports notes that some members of the Washington party got off the train in Big Sandy "just to say they'd been there." According to the report, Big Sandy was infamous as a town in which no African American was allowed to remain after sunset. OCLC reports just three copies, at NYPL, Yale, and the University of California, Davis.
